2. Peppermint Oil

Not only does this smell delicious, but when it penetrates the scalp it stimulates the hair follicles, providing more oxygen production for the hair to grow. Make sure to dilute the oil before using, as it is very strongly concentrated. When applying, gently massage it into your scalp and leave it to sit for about 30 minutes.

3. Lavender Oil

Another natural remedy, lavender oil is perfect to use just before bed, as it has a very calming scent. It also contains antibacterial properties that keep the scalp clean and pores open. It helps prevent excessive dandruff, which is a cause that prevents hair growth. Use the same techniques as described above for the peppermint oil.

4. Rosemary Oil

Rosemary oil is known as being one of the most effective oils for hair growth, as it has scalp stimulating properties. As it gets the blood circulating in your scalp, it helps with the hair growth in thinning edges and balding spots. Use the same techniques as described above for the peppermint and lavender oil.

5. Stinging Nettle

The best way to use this herb is to let it sit in your hair overnight. Not only will it assist in hair growth, but it also helps curl your hair a bit. The nutrients help regenerate your hair and stop the overproduction of DHT, which is a hormone that contributes to hair loss. Using this herb along with another product, lets say with a hair growth shampoo and conditioner, will help doubly in the production of hair growth.

6. Aloe Vera

Aloe vera is one of those products that helps with everything — in this case, hair growth. It’s packed with over 20 minerals and a ton of vitamins such as A, C, and E. It reduces the overproduction of sebum, a word you may have heard before when learning about your facial skin. However, this oily substance is not just found on our faces, but our scalps as well. It can slow hair growth because it clogs your pores. However, the aloe vera takes care of that by ridding the oily build up in your pores.

7. Sage Oil

For those with limp, curly hair, this may be the best option for you. While sage oil increases the blood circulation to your hair follicle, it also controls the amount of sebum in your scalp. It moisturizes the hair as well, giving your curls a nice bouncy look.

Men and women have both found that rogaine works wonders for hair growth. It is a topical solution that has been clinically proven to help regrow hair. It works best on clean, dry to damp hair. Apply about 20 drops of the solution to the part of your scalp in question before going to bed. You should begin to see results after about 4 months of regular use.

You can find it for about $50 at CVS. Check online to find a drug store near you that supplies this product.

This uses plant stem cells (Malus Domestica), which is a rare Switzerland plant stem cell, along with organic ingredients such as tea tree, peppermint, eucalyptus, and rosemary oils. These all work together to combat scalp oil overproduction, which inevitably will stop hair loss. There’s also no sulfates in this shampoo.

This product is different from any other mentioned because it contains caffeinated compounds, of course in conjunction with essential oils. It also contains ketoconazole, which is a synthetic anti fungal medication. It is intended to repair any fungal or bacterial causes of dandruff or poor scalp health. Another hair loss targeted ingredient is saw palmetto. This is a compound that has been found in trials to block an enzyme known to cause continual hair loss.

You can purchase this product at their website on sale now for $43.99.

Here’s something you might be able to find already in your fridge! This is the oldest and best trick in the book. Onion juice contains a sulphur that boosts collagen production in the tissues and aids in the regrowth of hair. What you’ll have to do is use red onions or shallots, chop them into small pieces, squeeze out its juice, and then apply it to your scalp very delicately. Let it sit for about 15 to 20 minutes. Don’t forget to rinse with a mild shampoo.

14. Apple Cider Vinegar

Another item you may be able to locate in your kitchen is apple cider vinegar. This product cleanses your scalp and helps maintain the HP balance of the hair, which will accelerate hair growth. Use this while in the shower after washing your hair. Use the apple cider vinegar as your final rinse. To make 1 liter of the solution, mix 75 ml of the product into one liter of water.

Eggs are full of protein, which is an important quality in the formation of new hair. It also contains sulphur, zinc, iron, selenium, phosphorus as well as iodine.

This will also make your hair extremely shiny and smooth.

16. Potato Juice

You may or may not have known that potatoes do in fact contain juice. The potato itself is rich in Vitamins A, B, and C. All of these vitamins are vital for healthy, full hair. What you’ll need to do is place a potato in an extractor for juicing. After extracting the juice, apply it to your scalp and let it sit for 15 minutes and wash it all out with a mild shampoo. (Beauty hint: Potato juice can be used on the face as well as a nice mask).

17. Cayenne Pepper

This is a little more surprising to be using for hair growth. However, cayenne pepper also stimulates hair growth and prevents the thinning of hair. It contains a chemical called Capaicin. This causes the nerves on the scalp to activate and increase the blood flow, resulting in increased absorption of nutrients. All you’ll need to do is add 1 teaspoon of the powder with 2 teaspoons of olive oil and mix it all on your scalp where the problem exists. Wash it off with cool water, and a mild shampoo.
